Students At Central Regional Average 1093 On S.A.T. Scores

BERKELEY TOWNSHIP, NJ - Central Regional High School students averaged a score of 1093 out of a possible 1600 on the 2017 Scholastic Aptitude tests, according to figures provided by the state Department of Education.

The SAT is still considered the primary standardized test that judges a student's college qualifications. Patch put together the list of each New Jersey high school's average 2017 scores that the state released this month, and ranked them from top to bottom (see lists below).

Patch compiled SAT scores in two sections that the state Department of Education identified as "math" and "reading and writing." The lists contain the combined average score of each school, ranked highest to lowest. Perfect would be a combined 1600, or 800 in each section (the average scores statewide were 552 for math and 551 for reading and writing).

Central Regional came in at number 190 out of the 378 schools ranked on the state list. Other nearby southern Ocean County school district scores included:

* Southern Regional came in at number 122, with an average combined score of 1138.

* Barnegat High School came in at number 173, with an average score of 1104.

* Lacey High School came in at number 196, with an average score of 1091.

The SAT scores were part of the state Department of Education's School Performance Reports for the 2016-17 school year. The reports include figures on enrollment, proficiency scores, PARCC scores, graduation rates and SAT scores.

These reports are designed to inform parents, educators and communities about how well a school is performing and preparing its students for college and careers, according to the DOE.

Barringer Arts High School in Newark was last on the list with an average score of 795.
